“Erik Wahl’s UNTHINK is Creative Detox at the highest level. It’s a kick in the pants that will send you sailing out of the box — back to “beginner’s mind,” to child-like courage, to that place of play where all wonderful work originates. Erik Wahl is a force of nature. UNTHINK is his relentless, playful ethos in a bottle. I love the concept, I love the title. Five Un-Stars!” -Steven Pressfield, bestselling author of The War of Art and Turning Pro

After a eight-year career as a partner in a corporate firm, he became frustrated by the lack of innovative thought and corresponding profits he saw in business. So he set out to challenge companies to change their way of thinking, while simultaneously pursuing his own individual passions. He rediscovered his love for art, and now plays in the business world by working through his art.
